To add customer reviews to a landing page, paste a review widget into your builder’s HTML element, use the builder’s testimonial section, or code the reviews into the page yourself.
Where reviews sit matters as much as how you add them. Adding just three customer testimonials can lift conversions by 34%, per our social proof statistics, but only if visitors see them before they decide.
This guide covers all three methods step by step. Then it shows where each review belongs and how to match reviews to the ad that brought the visitor in.
The short version:
- Fastest: create a WiserReview widget, copy its embed code, and paste it into your builder’s HTML element. It works in Unbounce, Leadpages, Instapage, ClickFunnels, Webflow, Framer, and more.
- Free: use your builder’s testimonial section and type in a few quotes by hand.
- Placement: rating under the headline, one review beside the form or button, one near the price, and a carousel before the final button.
- Message match: show reviews that repeat the ad’s promise, with one widget per campaign.
Which way should you add reviews to a landing page?

A review widget is the best way to add reviews to most landing pages, since one embed code works in every builder and new reviews appear automatically.
A builder’s testimonial section is fine for a short campaign with three or four quotes. Hand-coded HTML suits custom-built pages where a developer controls every line.
| Method | Best for | New reviews | Setup time | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Review widget | Pages running paid traffic, any builder | Appear automatically | About 10 minutes | Paid tool (WiserReview starts at $6.75/mo billed yearly, after a 7-day free trial) |
| Builder testimonial section | Short campaigns with 3 to 5 quotes | Added by hand | 5 to 10 minutes | No live rating or count, and quotes go stale |
| Hand-coded HTML | Custom-coded landing pages | Added by hand | 30 to 60 minutes | Every new review means a code change |
Method 1: How to add reviews to a landing page with WiserReview
To add reviews to a landing page with WiserReview, import or collect reviews, create a widget for the page, filter it to matching reviews, and paste its code into the builder.
Below is every step, from signing up to checking the live page. With reviews already on Google or in a spreadsheet, the whole setup takes about 10 minutes.
Watch this quick overview of WiserReview first, then follow the steps below.
Step 1: Create your account

- Open app.wiserreview.com/signup.
- Under Choose your site builder, pick the </> custom code tile. Unbounce, Leadpages, Instapage, and other landing page builders all use it.
- Sign up with your email or Google account.
Every feature is open during the 7-day free trial. Paid plans start at $6.75 a month, billed yearly.
Step 2: Bring in your existing reviews
From Google:
- Open Manage reviews and click Import Reviews.
- Find Google under 3rd Party Platforms and click Integration.
- Click Login with Google and choose the account that manages your Business Profile.
- Leave the Active toggle on so new Google reviews keep syncing, usually within 48 hours.

From Facebook: open Integration in the left menu, select Facebook, click Integration, and log in to pick your page.
From a spreadsheet:
- In Import Reviews, select Import Reviews Via CSV, then click Integrate.
- Choose Custom as the source, name the import, and upload your file.
- Match your columns to review fields. Rating, review date (YYYY-MM-DD), and reviewer name are required.

CSV imports are available during your first 60 days.
Step 3: Collect fresh reviews

- Go to Forms under Collect reviews.
- Click Customize to edit the form’s questions and design.
- Copy the form link with the external link icon under Actions, and send it to recent customers.
- Download the QR code from the same row if you meet customers in person.

This tutorial walks through the automation screens step by step:
Step 4: Publish and tag your reviews

- Open Manage reviews and check the Pending tab.
- Publish the reviews you want to show. Widgets only display published reviews.
- Tag reviews by topic, such as pricing, support, or results, so each landing page can pull the right ones.
- Turn on Moderation if you’d rather approve every new review first.
Step 5: Pick a widget that suits the page

- Click Widgets, then open the Review widgets tab.
- Choose a Trust badge for under the headline, a Carousel or Auto Slider for near the form, or Carousel Video for video reviews.
- Click Manage on the widget you chose.
You can preview each layout on our review widgets page first.
Step 6: Create a widget for this landing page

- Click Add widget.
- Pick a design template.
- Name the widget after the page or campaign, such as “Spring glow offer,” and click Create.
The screen above shows the Floating Popup, and every widget type uses the same flow. A separate widget for each landing page lets every campaign show its own reviews.
Step 7: Show reviews that match the page

- Open Filter Reviews and pick the source and tags that fit this page’s offer.
- Set a minimum star rating if this widget is a hand-picked strip of top reviews.
- Adjust Layouts, Cards, and Color, or let AI Design match the page.
- Preview with real data on desktop and mobile.
Step 8: Copy the embed code

- Click Install.
- Open the Custom tab.
- Copy the script code, or the iframe code if your builder blocks scripts.
The URL option opens the widget as its own page, which works well behind a “Read all reviews” link.
Step 9: Paste the code into your builder
- Open the landing page in your builder’s editor.
- Drag in the element listed below and place it where the reviews belong.
- Paste the code, save, and publish.
Each builder name links to a full walkthrough with screenshots.
| Builder | Element to use |
|---|---|
| Unbounce | Custom HTML widget |
| Leadpages | HTML widget |
| Instapage | HTML widget |
| ClickFunnels | Custom JS/HTML element or Custom Code block |
| Webflow | Embed element |
| Framer | Embed component |
| Carrd | Embed element |
| Swipe Pages | Custom HTML or Embed element |
| Systeme.io | Custom HTML element |
| Kajabi | Custom Code block |
| HubSpot | Custom HTML module |
| Kartra | Custom Code or HTML block |
Step 10: Check the live page on a phone
- Open the published page on your phone, not just the desktop preview.
- No widget? Go back to Install and click Debug on site.
- Repeat Steps 6 to 9 for each new landing page.
Reviews for every campaign page
Build one widget per landing page, filter it to matching reviews, and paste it into any builder. Try it free for 7 days.
Method 2: How to use your builder’s testimonial section
To add reviews without a separate tool, drop in your landing page builder’s testimonial section and type each customer quote, name, and rating by hand.
- Open the page in your builder.
- Add a section or element, then search for “testimonial”.
- Paste three to five quotes, each with the customer’s name, photo, and star rating.
- Get permission before you use anyone’s words or photo.
- Preview on mobile, then publish.
This works for a short campaign. The quotes never update, there’s no live rating, and every new review means editing the page again.
Method 3: How to hand-code reviews into a landing page
To hand-code reviews, add a reviews container to the page HTML, write one card per review, style the cards with CSS, and publish the change.
- Open the page’s HTML in your code editor.
- Add a container right above the form or main button, such as <section class=”reviews”>.
- Write one card per review with the stars, quote, first name, and date.
- Style the cards with CSS so they stack neatly on phones.
- Push the change and check the page on mobile.
Skip review schema on most landing pages. Google doesn’t show stars for reviews a business shows about itself, and many paid landing pages are set to noindex anyway.
Our guide to add customer reviews to your website has copy-paste HTML, CSS, and Product schema.
Where should reviews go on a landing page?

Reviews work best on a landing page where visitors hesitate: under the headline, beside the form or button, near the price, and right before the final call to action.
- Under the headline: your rating and review count, so trust lands in the first second.
- Beside the form or button: one short review that answers a doubt right before the click.
- Near the price: a review about value, such as how long the product lasts.
- Before the final button: a carousel for visitors who read the whole page and still need convincing.
Keep the first screen light. One rating line beats a full carousel above the fold, which only pushes the button down.
How do you match reviews to the ad that sent the visitor?

Match reviews to an ad by showing reviews that repeat the ad’s promise, using tags and one widget per campaign so each landing page pulls the right reviews.
Visitors arrive with the ad’s promise in their head. If the ad says “glow in 14 days,” a review saying “visible glow by week two” confirms it on the spot.
- Speed or results ads: reviews that mention how fast it worked.
- Price or discount ads: reviews about value and how long the product lasts.
- Retargeting ads: reviews that answer the doubt that stopped the first visit, such as fit, setup, or shipping.
- Free trial pages: reviews from people who started recently and stayed.
In WiserReview, tag those reviews by theme, then filter each campaign’s widget by that tag, as in Step 7 above.
One widget per campaign
Filter each landing page's widget by tag, so every ad lands on reviews that back up its promise.
Start Free →Will a review widget slow down your landing page?

A review widget adds little load time when it sits below the first screen of the page. Speed matters most on mobile, where most landing page visits happen.
Mobile devices account for 72% of website traffic, and 53% of mobile visitors leave a page that takes over 3 seconds to load, per our conversion rate optimization statistics.
- Put a small rating badge in the first screen and the carousel lower down.
- Use one review widget per page, not three.
- WiserReview can lazy load its product review section, so it only loads when visitors scroll to it.
- Run the page through Google PageSpeed Insights before and after adding the widget.
Should you A/B test reviews on a landing page?
Yes. A/B test review placement, count, and format on a landing page, because the same reviews can lift or flatten conversions depending on where they sit.
Most landing page builders include A/B testing. Change one thing per test, and let each version collect enough traffic before you pick a winner.
- Rating badge under the headline vs. no badge.
- One review beside the form vs. a full carousel.
- Text reviews vs. video reviews, which drive 80% higher conversion uplift in the same social proof report.
- A hand-picked quote vs. your latest reviews.
Common mistakes when adding reviews to landing pages
- Burying reviews at the bottom, where few visitors scroll.
- Showing generic praise that has nothing to do with the offer.
- Using a fast autoplay carousel that nobody can read.
- Stacking so many reviews that the main button drops out of view.
- Editing a customer’s wording or using a quote without permission.
- Showing only 5-star reviews while implying they’re all of them, which breaks the US FTC review rule.
Fresh reviews for every launch
Collect reviews after each order and show the right ones on every landing page you run.

For most landing pages, a review widget is the fastest way to add reviews that stay current. Build one widget per campaign and paste it into your builder’s HTML element.
Then place reviews where visitors hesitate, match them to the ad’s promise, and keep the first screen light so the page stays fast on mobile.
Start with one landing page, test the placement, and roll the winner out to the rest.
